On the night that Dublin, the four-in-a-row football champions, were drawn to play Louth or Wexford in their opening game of the 2019 Leinster Senior Football Championship, Anthony Daly, the county’s former hurling manager, refused to rule out the possibility of returning to his old job.

Daly managed Dublin for six years, winning Leinster and league titles, and would be a popular choice to replace Pat Gilroy as the county’s manager. Mattie Kenny and Anthony Cunningham are also in contention for the role.

“If it’s the right thing to do and you want to do it and there’s no disgruntlement among the players that you’re going back [then it’s fine to return],” Daly said.
